For a certain kind of buyer looking for a focused sport sedan, the 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia is a must-have. There's really no other entry-level four-door that comes close to matching its superb driving dynamics and unique road presence. But many will be put off by the compromises to passenger comfort and overall refinement it makes to achieve this goal.

Pros
- Strong turbocharged engines

Cons

What's new

Overview
The Giulia doesn't look or drive like any other small luxury sedan out there. Its distinctive grille will undoubtedly turn heads, and the way it handles puts traditional luxury sedans to shame. But this Alfa isn't for everyone. Some prefer the comfort, luxury and tech offered by rivals like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4, and don't mind sharing the road with thousands of other drivers who made the same decision. The Giulia is made for those who want a unique luxury sedan with an engaging driving experience.

For 2023, Alfa Romeo adds two new limited-edition trim levels: Lusso and Estrema. The Lusso builds off the Ti trim and adds a special leather interior and an upgraded audio system. The Estrema is based on the loaded Veloce trim and comes standard with a limited-slip differential and the adaptive suspension system from the high-performance Quadrifoglio model. The Estrema also sports carbon-fiber interior and exterior accents and 19-inch black wheels with black brake calipers. Dark Estrema exterior badging is also included.
The Giulia's 280-horsepower turbo-four engine is one of the most potent and lively standard engines in the segment, and don't forget about the bonkers 505-hp turbocharged V6 that powers the Quadrifoglio. If you prioritize the way a car drives, you can't go wrong with the Giulia. Its precise handling and Italian flair, though, come at a price. Check out the Edmunds Expert Rating below to get our test team's full review of the Giulia's performance, tech, comfort and more.

out of 10
We drove the 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8/10
How does the Giulia drive? The Alfa Romeo Giulia feels like a proper sport sedan. At the Edmunds test track, our Giulia Veloce test vehicle sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds, which is among the segment's quickest for a base engine-equipped vehicle. The steering wheel is nicely weighted, and the body responds quickly to steering inputs. Handling is superb, with little body roll and razor-sharp accuracy. Notably, our test car came equipped with summer-rated tires, and we found they provided plenty of grip through turns.
A few faults drag down this score. The brakes clamp on pretty hard, so it takes a light foot to stop smoothly. The transmission also isn't quick to downshift when you really dig in for more speed.

Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Giulia? The Giulia is a sport sedan first and foremost, but it's also reasonably comfortable. The front seats are supportive and have plenty of adjustments to dial in your ideal position. But some drivers might find the unyielding thigh bolsters to be intrusive. The Giulia rides firmly, and cracked road surfaces transmit hard thunks into the cabin, but it's acceptable overall considering the car's sporty nature.
On the downside, the engine that sounds great when wrung out is also hollow and coarse at low rpm, and our test car's summer tires made a lot of road noise at highway speeds. We also found that the automatic climate system didn't blow as much air as we desired.

Interior
6.5/10
How’s the interior? Some controls are oddly placed. Though the infotainment system supports both touchscreen and dial inputs, the latter can't control everything displayed. You'll have to use the screen to select a radio preset, for instance. Another downside: The Giulia is hard to get in and out of. The middle roof pillar is pushed far forward, which hampers front seat access, and the rear wheel arches intrude into rear passenger space. Headroom is tight especially in the back once you finally do get inside.
The driver is the focus here, as evidenced by the attention to detail placed on this position. The seat and steering wheel are highly adjustable, and the armrests are at the perfect height for relaxed cruising. The metal shift paddles attached to the steering column are deeply satisfying to pull. And visibility is pretty good, except for the compromised over-the-shoulder view due to the position of the middle pillar.

Technology
6.5/10
How’s the tech? The Giulia's tech falls short of what class leaders offer. The voice controls, in particular, are seriously deficient compared to more comprehensive Audi, BMW and Mercedes systems. The system appears to support natural language recognition until you say something it doesn't understand and a structured menu list pops up. Navigation input is cumbersome, and point-of-interest search rarely works. And while there are plenty of ports and pads to charge your devices, phone integration is poor. Bluetooth is slow to connect, so if you had a podcast at high volume playing when you turned off the car, upon restart, the radio will absolutely blast you away.
There are a few highlights. The available Harman Kardon audio system sounds crisp and punchy, and the driver aids, while a little too sensitive, work well overall.

Storage
7/10
How’s the storage? The trunk, at 13.4 cubic feet, offers more ultimate storage than most rivals, and there are enough storage spaces inside the car to stash your everyday gear. Numerous cubbies and pockets, though small, are spread throughout the cabin.
As is the case with many aspects of the Giulia, the negatives come down to execution. While the trunk itself is large, the top edge of the trunk is almost in line vertically with the bottom edge. So you don't drop items into the trunk as much as you bend over and slide them in, like you do with an oven. Put anything as far forward as the rear seatbacks, and you'll have to climb into the trunk to retrieve it. And though car seat anchors are easily accessible, the small door apertures and tight rear space will require moving the front seats to make a child safety seat fit.

And though car seat anchors are easily accessible, the small door apertures and tight rear space will require moving the front seats to make a child safety seat fit.
Fuel Economy
6.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The all-wheel-drive Giulia gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined (23 city/31 highway). This is typical for a compact luxury sedan with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive, but once you consider its superior acceleration, the Giulia gleams a little brighter. However, it earned 25.9 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route; typically we see results between the combined and highway numbers. A BMW 330i xDrive on the same route, for instance, averaged 31.3 mpg.
Value
7/10
Is the Giulia a good value? The Giulia is priced similarly to rivals from Mercedes and BMW, though other sedans from Acura, Lexus and Volvo are generally priced lower. The cabin design is attractive and distinct, with ample use of leather, aluminum and soft-touch plastic. It seems like you get what you pay for. Still, our test car had a persistent rattle and wonky phone integration system.
Like most in the class, Alfa offers four years/50,000 miles of coverage for both its basic and powertrain warranties. Roadside assistance is covered for four years/unlimited miles, and the first maintenance visit is free. Many Alfa models have shown questionable reliability, though, so proceed with caution.

Wildcard
9/10
The Giulia has personality in spades. While the back end looks a little anonymous, the front end is distinctive — in a good way. Its interior, likewise, doesn't look like anything else out there. Satisfying steering, sublime handling, grippy seats, a rorty four-cylinder ... there are perhaps no other cars (with base engines) in this segment more engaging or fun to drive. With the Giulia, you will likely know right away if it's the car for you.
2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia trim level differences
The 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia is available in six main trim levels: Sprint, Ti, Lusso, Veloce, Estrema and the high-performance Quadrifoglio. The first five are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (280 horsepower, 306 lb-ft) matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. The Quadrifoglio is rear-wheel-drive only and uses a turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine (505 hp, 443 lb-ft). Feature highlights for each trim continue below. Compare the 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia trim levels in-depth.
Which Giulia trim does Edmunds recommend?
We suggest going with the Ti trim. It includes a generous number of standard features from the Sprint trim and adds larger 18-inch wheels and a panoramic sunroof. More importantly, it gives you the option of adding the Active Assist Plus and Premium Interior and Sound packages. For additional performance, opt for the new Estrema trim level.

2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
TL;DR version: Go test drive one and see for yourself.
Full version: So I have always played it "safe" with cars, using magazines like CR faithfully and buying either a Toyota or Honda/Acura product. I really liked the Giulia's looks, the history behind Alfa Romeo, and having a car you don't see everywhere. But, the reliability question was concerning--until I dug deeper. CR doesn't … even really have data on Alfa Romeo yet still gives them a rating (e.g. how on earth did they give the Tonale a rating in April issue when it doesn't even go on sale in USA until May '23). I went to forums where actual owners exist and actual owners have mainly had trouble-free experiences. I quickly discovered that many of the people busting on Alfa reliability don't even own one. So with life short if Covid taught us anything, I took the plunge and bought a Giulia. And, I am 100% glad I did. The car handles like no other sedan on the road. If you are a lean person, definitely opt for the sport seats too. You will seat "in" the seat rather than "on" the seat like the Sprint and Ti versions. If you are larger in size though, the sport seats could be too snug (I'm 6ft, 165) due to the side bolsters. I also love that the car has its infotainment system built into the dash and avoids the common trend of slapped tablet onto the dash--and it has plenty of physical buttons to complement the touchscreens. And, the car is f-a-s-t. I keep it in "d" mode for the dna and you can feel the car excited to drive. Which gets to the biggest dislike--other drivers in my way on a curvy road when my Alfa wants to run free! ;)

2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Drive it. There is nothing in this class that drives like the Giulia. World class dynamics in terms of handling and ride. The car was updated in 2020 and the interior and finish is first class. I’ve owned all the German competitors. Nothing comes close as an overall package.
wonderful machine the Giulia Veloce

2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
It looks stunning, no doubt. Like the driving too. smooth power delivery. Suspension a poise in compared to my Golf R VII. Love it. Classy. Interior is also nicely done. I don't see the so-often-yelled lack of German quality. It is finished well too. I thought I would miss my Golf R when I replaced it with Giulia. But in the end I find this car more lovely. Good value for money too when … in compared with similar German ones.
Great value on an Italian car!

2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I had planned to buy a Giulia a year ago, but I let Consumer Reports somewhat negative review stop me. I bought something else instead. Well, I needed another car, so I recently decided to buy a Giulia anyway. Don't believe the negative parts of that review! Mine is a 2022 Giulia Veloce in Rossa Etna and I absolutely love this car! I'm 6'3" and I have plenty of room. The controls are … simple to use. I'm difficult to please and I can't find any negatives to this car! It's simply the best driving car that I have ever driven! It puts a smile on my face every time that I drive it! Give it a chance. You won't regret it!
